The inlpubs R package provides tools to search and analyze 399 publications spanning 78 years of work by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Idaho Water Science Center and the Idaho National Laboratory Project Office (INLPO). Written by 267 researchers, these publications document the effects of waste disposal on the eastern Snake River Plain aquifer and assess the availability of water for long-term consumptive and industrial use. Their findings are central to how the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and the State of Idaho manage and use the aquifer. The underlying USGS geohydrologic studies and monitoring began in 1920 and have been carried out in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office.
